Ingredients: 150g almond flour. 150g powdered sugar. 55g egg whites aged, room temperature. 1/4 tsp cream of tartar. 150g granulated sugar. 35g water. 1/2 tsp coconut extract. 120g unsweetened shredded coconut. 200g sweetened condensed milk. 150g dark chocolate for fudge filling. 2 tbsp coconut milk. 1/4 tsp salt. 1/4 tsp vanilla extract.
Instructions: Combine powdered sugar and almond flour and sift them. Put aside. Beat the egg whites until frothy in a different bowl. After adding the cream of tartar, beat the mixture until soft peaks form. Add water and granulated sugar to a saucepan. Simmer on medium heat until the temperature reaches 118C 244F. With constant mixing, carefully pour the heated sugar syrup into the beaten egg whites. Beat the mixture until it cools down and stiff peaks form. Incorporate the sifted almond flour and powdered sugar blend, as well as 1/4 cup of shredded coconut and coconut extract, blending thoroughly. Spoon the macaron batter into a piping bag, then pipe tiny circles onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Give them 30 minutes to rest so that a skin can form. Set the oven temperature to 150C 300F. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the macarons come off the parchment paper easily. Make the coconut fudge filling while the macarons cool. Mix dark chocolate, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, salt, and vanilla extract in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth, heating in 20-second intervals in the microwave. Stir into the fudge filling the remaining shredded coconut. Sort the macaron shells into pairs according to size, then put a spoonful of the coconut fudge filling inside each shell. Place a second shell on top to make a sandwich. Before serving, let the filled macarons sit in the fridge for a few hours. Savor your mouthwatering Macarons with Coconut Fudge!
